On March 23, 2010 the Madeline Young Speaker series will sponsor guest presentation by Alexandra Fuller, an author who grew up in Africa and now lives in Wyoming. The presentation will take place in the Clare and Josef Meier Hall at 7 p.m.

Additional events will be leading up to the presentation the week before in order to give students, faculty, and community members time to discuss the author’s work and be more fully involved and prepared for Fuller’s presentation.

A book discussion of Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight will be held Tuesday, March 16 in the Grace Balloch Memorial Library at 6:30 PM. The director of the BHSU Honors Program, Dr. Amy Fuqua, will lead the discussion.
